Throwback Thursdays – Lefferts Family House

This house was located on 84th Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard and named after the family, which had a large farm that made up Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill. The Leffert family descends from Leffert Pietersen Van Haughwout, a Dutch immigrant who settled in Flatbush, Brooklyn in 1660.
